Fractionalizing and Naming

Epoch 259675 (2024.01.29)

As the test tubes continue to bubble, the algorithm crunchers continue to crunch, and sunbeam analysis continues to warm, discoveries great and small continue to be discovered by the Ethereans living on the ChainStation and researching the mysteries of their lovable, colorful, digital friends. Recently, MoonCat #7989 pulled off an impressive stunt recently, showing all ChainStation Alpha residents a new trick they learned: manifesting a thousand glittering reflections of themselves! Station scientists labeled it 'Fractionalization', while the MoonCats just call it 'sparkly!' Plus, a new record-keeper docked with the station, helping MoonCats find that most-elusive of digital treasures: their permanent name...

When curious onlookers first saw MoonCat #7989 appearing split up around the station, they thought it was a classic magic trick, as the pale blue MoonCat started to divide, and were shocked to discover it was actually real! But not to fear, as that broad grin stayed on their face the whole time, it showed this was all going according to plan. Following in the footsteps of the Genesis trailblazers who sought out multiple adopted owners rather than just one. Now in lots of smaller parts, MoonCat #7989 showed their eagerness for gaining their permanent name, as they spread out and contacted dozens of Ethereans, seeking someone to name them. Will this digital division help them discover their true purpose and lifelong name to commemorate it? Time will tell!

While not all MoonCats may want to go to digital pieces, for those who are actively seeking a permanent name, a new option has been unveiled. A record-keeper, for individual MoonCats to advertise they are willing for any Etherian to name them, not just their owner. This is for enterprising MoonCats specifically, since they can charge for that right through this new record-keeper. Want to hire on a spokescat to bear your name unto all the reaches of Deep Space?

The Deep Space scientists posted a full technical writeup of these enhancements, for those craving a deeper dive.
